Air Safety

Aviation
Safety has been a subject of great interest to me since
childhood. I started reading and collecting Aircraft Accident
Reports about 1955 and since then have amassed a huge library of
reports and materials. In my youth, I started a lifelong friendship
with a neighbor - Jerry Lederer - who is often called the "Father of
Aviation Safety." He served as a conduit for even more materials,
especially from the Flight Safety Foundation - of which, he then was
President. In my professional life, I participated in many large
aircraft accident investigations, eventually becoming a full member of
ISASI - the International Society of Air Safety Investigators. In
my retirement, my interest has continued unabated, with the added
advantage of being unconstrained by the corporate or Politically
Correct world of the poor working stiff. So, I say what's on my
mind. Here are some areas of current interest to me.
